Engineered Ceramics

In this book project, all the American Ceramic Society's Engineering Ceramics Division Mueller and Bridge Building Award Winners, the ICACC Plenary Speakers and the past Engineering Ceramics Division Chairs have been invited to write book chapters on a topic that is compatible with their technical interests and consistent with the scope of the book, which is to focus on the current status and future prospects of various technical topics related to engineering ceramics, advanced ceramics and composite materials. Topics include: Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites Non-Destructive Evaluation and Mechanical Testing of Engineering Ceramics Brittle and Composite Material Design Modern Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics Thermal/Environmental Barrier Coatings Advanced Ceramic Coatings for Functional Applications Advanced Ceramic Joining Technologies Ceramics for Machining, Friction, Wear, and Other Tribological Applications Ceramic Composites for High-Temperature Aerospace Structures and Propulsion Systems Thermal Protection Materials: From Retrospect to Foresight Carbon/Carbon Composites Ceramic-Matrix Composites for Lightweight Construction Ultra High-Temperature Ceramics (UHTC) Nanolaminated Ternary Carbides and Nitrides (MAX Phases) Ceramics for Heat Engine and Other Energy Related Applications Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) Armor Ceramics Next Generation Bioceramics Ceramics for Innovative Energy and Storage Systems Designing Ceramics for Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices Nanostructured Materials and Nanotechnology Advanced Ceramic Processing and Manufacturing Technologies Engineering Porous Ceramics Thermal Management Materials and Technologies Geopolymers Advanced Ceramic Sensor Technology Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Nuclear and Fusion Applications Advanced Ceramic Technologies for Rechargeable Batteries
